MRS. s. L. ROTHROCK.
A"CHRlSTIAN SCIENCE" HEALER IN
TOWN.

She Claims to Cure In One TO Three
"Treatments," costing $1.OO each,
and Gives Local References Of Cures
A Free Lecture.
Mrs. S, l.. Rothrock, the Christian
Science Healer, is at the Alturas Ho-
tel. Since her arrival, yesterday after
noon, she has been visited by large
number of people, who all went as
"scoffers, but returned, if not full
fedged believers, at least disposed to
give her trial before condemning her.
Mrs. Rothrock came to ketchum
from Iowa at the urgent solicitation
of County Commissioner Gillette, and
during her three or four weeks stay
in our sister town claims to have eff
fected nearly 80 cures. The names
OF most of her patieats can be OBJ
tanned from her, for purposes of refer
ence, if desired. She, however, pre-
fers that they shall not be published.
Five of the others she gave the TIMES
man permission to publish as such
publication might inspire other ailing
ones with sufficient confidence to in
duce them to come and get cured.
They are as follows:
Justice Peck, his wife and children,
and Mrs. Captain Guyer. Mrs. Roth
rock cured Justice Peck's children
without ever having seen them. Mr..
Peck was cured of very aggravated
case of chronic dyspepsia and another
ailment, and his wife (wbo had suffer
ed for IA years from the effects of a
surgical operation for private
trouhle) was so weak that she could
hardly stand and much of her time
was spent resting on lounge or in
bed. Now, Mrs. Peck has an appetite
that allows her to eat everything she
wants, at any hour of tho day or
night, and she can walk for miles
without exhaustion. The family i.
we'll known in Haley, having former
ly lived here.
The case which Mrs. Captain Guy
er can testify to is that of a young
girl of ii, who had been afflicted will
a serious trouble from birth. At the
third treatment she was pronounced
cured. The cure was therefore al
most instantaneous. The young CIR
resides at Guyer's Hot Springs.
Mrs. Rothrock can be consulted
daily at the hotel from to 10 o'clock
a. m. Her charge for "treatment" i
Sl.00 per person per interview. In
terviews last from five to ten minutes
When treating patient she sits wit
r closed eyes to shut ont all externs
objects, and remains silent as if i
r deep meditation for the FIVE or tel
!: minutes. During this time her pa
tient may read novel or newspape
or look out of the window, but mus
" not approach closer to her than 81
Il feet. Many patients are cured a
one interview, more at the second, ant
IS others at the third. If cure is nc
s. effected in three interviews for So 0
D the treatment may as we'll be abandon
" ed
" Mrs. Rothrock FIRST acquired IL
e "Christian Science" last March. Tt
= February preceding, while sufferin
q from consumption, she was final
q prevailed upon by her husband to tie
the treatment The result she tel
r herself, as follows: "In few da,
T. | became as another person entirel

members of the Avery family of low
lie U am an Avery who have died
